Benny The Butcher isn’t shying away from the hype for his Burden Of Proof album. The Griselda Records MC embraced the anticipation for his upcoming LP while sharing its tracklist on Wednesday (October 14).
“One day they doubt you and the next day you got The Most Anticipated album of 2020 pro by @hitboy,” he wrote via Twitter. “BURDEN OF PROOF 10/16.”
Benny’s new album is produced entirely by Hit-Boy. The 12-track LP features Griselda labelmates Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine as well as collaborations with Lil Wayne, Freddie Gibbs, Rick Ross, Big Sean, Queen Naija and Dom Kennedy.
Burden Of Proof will be Benny’s first solo project since 2019’s The Plugs I Met. Earlier this year, the Buffalo-bred rapper teamed up with his Black Soprano Family roster to release a Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama.

Not too big on Hit-Boy producing the entire thing (he’s kinda overrated IMO) but I like Benny so we’ll see. Also I don’t see Armani Caesar on it so that’s a blessing.
Facts…but I’d still fuck her doe
Don’t make music with rick Ross you clown
I’ll give him his credit he’ll work with anybody even when the songs turn out wack…
This album will be wack. One of the most overrated producers ever is producing the album after he just fucked Nas album up. Features are not exciting at all. When you have Wayne and Ross on your album In 2020 heading into 2021 you are truly pathetic and a loser.
You sound mad jealous. Stay hating. You a bitch
I agree totally about hit boy fucking nas album up.if u gonna do an album with 1 producer it needs to be alchemist or DJ premiere only.and Wayne and Ross been fell off
Absolutely no Alchemist, in my opinion. Premier, Adrian Younge, Daringer, Beat Butcha – these all can ACTUALLY make a cohesive beat time after time; they can pull a whole album off just like that. Alchemist can’t, there are always like one or two decent beats, and after that the man lost his focus… Rest are straight from the trash. Too many great vocal performances (Conway and Gibbs both got fucked more recently) he ruins with his beats. I listen to all my music on Sennheiser HD800s headphones and holy fuck, Alchemists beats are very often just so… Dull. Lacking. I certainly don’t feel the same way about Premier, A.Y. or even Daringer – their beats sound really damn good! The simple way done right. No trap, no bullshit – just good old fine melodies with beautifully hitting drums.
However, keeping it simple just does not magically work, unless you really put some real time and effort into it. You just can’t put a loop and some basic drums together, and all it a day. That’s the basic “type beat producer on Souncloud” thing to do. Straight up lazy. That’s Alchemist’s style, which seriously speaking makes listening to his stuff a very hard thing to do.
Whatchu up to these day “da Realist” lol!
Benny has a chance to launch himself into legendary status if this album delivers as promise.
I just want the Freddie verse ….keep the rest
Iookin forward to all of it besides the Rick Ross one. Anytime I see a Ross feature I skip it. Unfortunately I had to skip the Freddie featuring Ross one on Alfredo too smh
You’re a morning because that was definitely a stand out track.
Ross is fire. Idk why people dislike him.
features are one thing, the beats better be on beat or nobody is gonna fuck with it. I hope Benny comes thru.
*on POINT or nobody …
Damn, no Nas feature on here, perhaps saving that for Tana Talk 4. But I know Benny’s gonna deliver regardless.
Great rapper, been following these guys for years, but I hope he can expand on his style to be more than just plugs, drugs, and packing heat.
He seems to be liked on here so I’ll give this and his other work a listen. You lot do me a favour and listen to the new Bizzy Bone album. Real rap.
Ha! He said a member of Bone suckers name along with real rap. Theo ventões of garbage ass mumble rap. Hahahaha
That track with Wayne is garbage. This dude needs to stay with Griselda and Action Bronson’s team and features. His shit won’t sound right with Hit-Boy. He need Derringer and Alchemist beats. He might not make it back from this flop.
Of the last 3 years you would have to say 10 best rappers in the game are
1. Pusha t 2. Royce 59 3. Benny the Butcher 4. Freddie Gibbs 5. Black thought
6. J Cole 7. Conway 8. Kendrick lamar 9. Skyzoo 10.????
Settle down.
Benny and his Griselda labelmates are the hardest niggas to beat in the rap game.They have undoubtedly set the bar high in the rap game and that’s undeniably recognized.Keep it up.
